National Cheesecake Day!

Not that I'm a huge dessert eater, just ask my friends, but I do enjoy some of the simple desserts such as sorbets, key lime pie, chocolate mousse, and cheesecake. During college, my friends and I would go to the Marina Del Rey Cheesecake Factory and sit on the deck, order our nachos, potato skins, and then some outrageous cheesecake for dessert.

One of my favorites is Eli's Cheesecake in Chicago. I would always try to stop in or get one to bring home, loved their kiosk at O'Hare, sometimes I would forget to get one. BTW, "Eli's The Place for Steak" is one of my favorite Chicago steak restaurants.

About Me

I'm a former entertainment marketing guru who went to cooking school and is now a restaurant consultant, marketing wiz, sushi evangelist, social media strategist, and catering chef.

Although my speciality is Asian cuisine and sushi, I have trained under a few different chefs. I was fortunate to learn sushi from some of the best chefs around. After sushi training, I spent a few years of working in various restaurants. I was asked to come back be a sushi instructor. I've taugh professional classes, but I really enjoy teaching the average person who has a deep desire to learn this exotic art form.

Restaurant owners have contacted me for consulting work and menu development. Everyone wants something different and "Fusion" turns into "Confusion." I've had to "Fix" a few places and fortunate to have saved 3 restaurants from closing, all before lunch.

As a Sushi Evangelist, I try to set the record straight about tradition and the secrets that your sushi chef won't tell you. Either because of the language barrier or because the chef doesn't know, usually the latter is the reason. Just because you can make a roll, does mean that your a fish expert.

As a Disney veteran, I worked with some of the best people in the industry, period. I've worked on incredible promotions and events, as well as, helping out the small business owner who can't afford a large budget promotion. Small business is the backbone of this country.

I love food, downloading music to my iPod that I'll never listen to, noodles, anything fried, great hot dogs, and Chicago style pizza. I'm a former Catering Chef to the Stars. Sorry, I don't name drop and never will.

My specialty is social media strategy and consulting within the food industry and food products. We can help build content, following, create promotions, and get your message out. Contact us today!.
